Afghanistan registers a 3-0 whitewash against Zimbabwe

. . .-100 . . . . . div , , p . , . , Having lost the first two games of the three-match ODI series, Zimbabwe was expected to come hard in the final match of the series. However, Afghanistan continued to be clinical against the hosts and recorded yet another victory, thereby completing a historic clean sweep in the three-match ODI series. Once again Afghanistan won the toss and had Zimbabwe bat first in Harare. Zimbabwean batters couldnrsquot get going yet again. Only Sikandar Raza produced a noticeable batting outing having scored 38 runs, but too came at a strike-rate of less than 50, which was hardly decent.nbsp From Afghanistan, all the bowlers looked at the top of their game as everyone got at least a wicket while being economical. Rashid Khan, however, was the pick of the bowlers as the spin maestro picked 3 wickets for 31 runs. A stunning bowling effort restricted Zimbabwe to a meagre total of 135 runs. Coming to bat, Afghanistan was expected to make a mockery of the chase. However, Zimbabwean bowlers fought valiantly to test Afghanistan as much as they could. In pursuit of a low total, the blue team still lost 6 wickets. However, calm heads of skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and Mohammad Nabi helped Afghanistan get over the line and record another emphatic show against Zimbabwe.nbsp
